Testo Rich Man's War - Steve Earle
Testo della canzone Rich Man's War (Steve Earle), tratta dall'album The Revolution Starts…Now
Jimmy joined the army 'cause he had no place to go
There ain't nobody hirin' 'round here, since all the jobs went down to Mexico
Reckoned that he'd learn himself a trade, maybe see the world
Move to the city someday and marry a black haired girl
Somebody somewhere had another plan
Now he's got a rifle in his hand
Rollin' into Baghdad, wonderin' how he got this far
Ah, just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's war
Bobby had an eagle and a flag tattooed on his arm
Red, white and blue to the bone when he landed in Kandahar
Left behind a pretty young wife and a baby girl
A stack of overdue bills and went off to save the world
It's been a year now and he's still there
Chasin' ghosts in the thin dry air
Meanwhile, back at home, the finance company took his car
It's just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's war
Ah, when will we ever learn?
When will we ever see?
Stand up and take our turn
From tellin' ourselves we're free
Ali was the second son of a second son
Grew up in Gaza, throwing bottles and rocks when the tanks would come
Ain't nothing else to do around here, it's just a game children play
Ah, something about living in fear all your life makes you hard that way
He answered when he got the call
Wrapped himself in death and he praised Allah
A fat man in a new Mercedes drove him to the door
It's just another poor boy off to fight a rich man's war
